• Contribute to the implementation of robust firmware code based in C/C++, design sequences, simulators and emulators for new features and optimize existing systems. This involves low-level hardware interaction, peripheral control, writing and maintaining device drivers for various SoC peripherals (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, memory controllers, etc.).

• Focus on the secure aspects of the boot process, such as Confidential Compute, Attestation, Security, etc.

• Contribute to design activities.

• Navigate up and down the stack as needed. Implement new BIOS features, sometimes debugging a kernel driver, or interacting with the silicon designers.

• Identify root causes of complex issues within the SoC. You will use debugging tools like in-circuit emulators, simulator, logging, JTAG debuggers to isolate and fix software bugs.

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

As a key member of a small and versatile team, you design, test, deploy and maintain software solutions.

We are a growing team of Embedded/Firmware engineers who are involved in co-designing high-performance and secure So Cs from ideation to landing. The team is designing and developing bootROMs, Firmware/Software drivers, and working with the ecosystem and partners to drive the adoption of the new SoC architectures.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
